Campaigners said the use of surgery meant that girls were no longer safe even after birth.

妇女儿童权益运动人士指出，变性手术意味着女孩即使在出生后也不安全。

The row emerged after newspapers disclosed children from throughout India were being operated on by doctors in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

据印度报纸披露，中央邦印多尔市的医生正给来自全印度的女孩做变性手术，这引发了人们的热议。

Doctors confronted in the investigation claimed that girls with genitalabnormalities were being sent to the city's clinics to be "surgically corrected" and that only children born with both male and female sexual characteristics were eligible for the procedure. But campaigners said the parents and doctors were misidentifying the children's conditions to turn girls into boys.

受调查的医生称，家长将生殖器畸形的孩子送到该市诊所进行“外科矫正”，只有生来就具备男女双性征的孩子才能进行手术。但妇女儿童权益运动人士指出，家长和医生错误地判断了孩子的状况，把女孩变性成男孩。

The surgery, known as genitoplasty, fashionsa penis from female organs, with the child being injected with male hormones to create a boy.

这种手术称为生殖器成形术，利用女性的性器官造出男性性器官，孩子还被注射雄性激素，变成男孩。
